Penn State Vs Nebraska on Saturday

I'm not a football fan, but I hope the Cornhuskers come to the game with signs and protest the actions of the college and some of the students.

2. I sort of feel sorry for the CornHuskers...

Why would they want to enter into that circus.... That said, they should focus on the game, IMO and not get diverted with the other issues. This is Penn States debacle and one that THEY should have to address.

3. It wouldn't surprise me to see violence beyond the game on the field..

There's going to be some severe taunting going on by the Nebraska players..

6. I don't think so. Bo Pelini will make sure there's no such taunting.

The Nebraska team will be out there to win the game and only for that purpose. Nebraska football really doesn't work that way.

A lot of Nebraska fans already have plane and game tickets and hotel reservations. Discussions on Cornhusker bulletin boards are about whether it would be wise to mute the fan paraphernalia for the game. Nebraska players and fans are pretty careful, for the most part, and they are unlikely to provoke anything. They just want this win.

4. I Don't Think Any Of The Penn State Football Players Have Been Accused Of Any Wrongdoing

Your "outrage" is misplaced.

5. We all saw scenes of rioting there last night in support.....

I'm sure the football players were there, as well.

I think the majority of the public will frown upon the entire team.

7. No, there probably weren't any players out there last night.

Players and fans usually have little contact on the college level. Very little.
